It's game day...for your lackluster workout routine.
Promising review: "This kayak seems very sturdy. I have only used it a few times so far but the material is thick and feels like it will hold up well. I have been on Class II rapids with it. The size is good. There is a little bit of water constantly in the seat but not terrible. It blows up very quickly with the included pump so I haven’t felt the need to upgrade to an electric one. The one drawback for me is the tiedowns on the seat are somewhat uncomfortable on my thighs if I sit certain ways but it is not enough that I regret buying it. Keep in mind I have large thighs." —Tammy G.

Promising review: "I never knew that elastic bands could help me feel so much burn! I was very surprised by how durable and elastic these bands are. Even after prolonged and rigorous workout sessions, I have noticed absolutely no wear or tear whatsoever! These are extremely good quality for the price. I love the strength ladder too. Each band has a different weight estimate. There are online videos for you to watch too! I 100% recommend this product to any fitness enthusiast — beginner or expert! I would give these10 stars if I could! Purchase this product! You won’t regret it!" —Matthew C.

Promising review: "This is a lot of fun. I find it addictive, like playing a good video game. For developing good focus, this is excellent!

Promising review: "These are so much better than sliders or twisters. And they are so much fun! I'm a runner, and I own a treadmill and a water rower, but these are my new favorite because I can place them in front of the TV and get a good workout. Depending on how hard I go at it, I can log a mile in anywhere from 10 to 14 minutes. My actually running pace is closer to ten minutes. I love this enough to buy one for home and one for work." —Shelliep

Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge, he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd.
Promising review: "I believe any money invested in health and fitness is worth it when utilized. This is a great purchase and integrates gaming with fitness. It's a fun way to build a strong core and expose the abs. No assembly is required, just a quick app download and you'll be ready to break your friends' record and at the same time sculpt your abs." —Makisan

Promising review: "I am totally satisfied with this jump, rope both its performance and its price. The handles are the right weight, shape, and texture. The rope has a 'springy' feel to it which facilitates whipping or fast revolutions. This rope has put the fun back in my jump rope workouts." —ATD

Promising review: "I love this trampoline. I have lymphedema and I use it daily to help my circulation. Before I started jumping I had daily leg pain and some sleepless nights. I now have no more leg pain...I was expecting it to get better but I wasn't expecting it to go away. I'm very pleased. 10 minutes a day or more and it's wonderful and fun!! I bought a cheap version to keep at my daughter's for when I visit but there is no comparison. The cheap one is so hard, doesn't have nearly the bounce or comfort that this one has." —C.J. Clowers

Promising review: "This was easy to put together and very sturdy. I like the rubber traction on it. The rubber makes it easier to use the roller anywhere, especially with the foam knee pad. I took it to work and can use it on the tile floors in the office without a problem. The knee pad is great, even on tile. It came with two comprehensive eBooks — one on nutrition and one instruction guide. It has great instructions on proper use so you don't hurt yourself." —Applebreeze

This has foldable legs, an adjustable net, and comes with three balls.
Promising review: "I heard about this game from a teen I know (I am 37) so I purchased it for my family. It is sooooo much fun!!! Be warned however that it is an aerobic workout! I have not had so much with my kids (16, 17, 19) for a very long time. It's very easy to learn (takes about five minutes) and the game is fast paced with lots of ball time (not waiting around like in volleyball). I highly recommend game!!!" —Tort

Promising review: "I am totally happy with the exercise ball, ring, and resistant bands. It's sturdy, easy to put together, and allows a great workout. I recommend this to anyone who really wants to workout at home. If one does not workout regularly at a gym, I would suggest starting slowly until your body gets adjusted to it. Do it every other day or two days. You can do in front of television. I have used this on carpet as well as hard wood floors, it's very stable." —Katrina Nolder
